to bring it home, i've spent the last year working with a team of law students at yale law school on a film called the worst of the worst. we spent an enormous amount of time with former inmates, grew up on the streets of hartford, got caught up with the wrong crowd, caught for selling drugs. for those who can't adjust, they get punished by being sent to super max prison. for several of them, i've watched them live out the consequences of that psychological damage of being held in solitary confinement, consequences they'll live out for the rest of their lives. i can't help but wonder if in the first instance a judge could assess the entire person in front of them. their particular story and struggle. their capacities to change rather than giving in to mandatory sentencing if their futures could be different. >> would you agree -- i have a little bit of nervousness about assuming that judges are necessarily better at the use of discretion. do we end up with a different sort of format of crime and punishment when we have judges rather than prosecutors with the discretion in the system?
